Yes a speech about how good things will be with Hope and Change, and maybe Hand the rolls of paper towels to people, and not throw them.

Plus I would say the academic study gave a wide interpretation of deaths caused by hurricane.

In the aftermath of a flood a few years ago, my uncle died of a heart attack while he was staying in a FEMA shelter. His death was NOT counted as flood related. I saw the list of flood related deaths he wasn't on it.

I suspect the academic study counted every death above the average for the time period studied as Hurricane related.

This. The George Washington University study was a new way of calculating hurricane deaths to include indirect deaths caused by the hurricane. Thats why there is such a difference. The PR government said 64 deaths. Its unfair to claim that exponentially more people died from hurricanes under trump when it is attributable to a calculation methodolgy change.

It is kind of a bs number. But his 6 to 18 sounds kind of bs too.

K I N D of?

But again, it's not the numbers per se that's the issue...it's the nonsensical ramblings that this was some conspiracy perpetrated by democrats to hurt him. Democrats can't even manage to get out of their own way most of the time.

Don’t be a mental midget and don’t assume we are. Democrats live to do nothing but ‘hurt’ Trump. Just like you I’m sure some climate change academic types would love nothing more than ‘hurt’ Trump with a BS number of deaths in Puerto Rico. They just don’t expect Trump to fight back. These idiots better get used to it cause he’s not going to stop.

You guys do know if you die from falling off your roof cutting a tree off it, that counts as a Hurricane fatality, right? Or a heart attack shoveling snow after a heavy storm.

They lump all kinds of crap in there.

And what about the other 2,998?

Duh, what?

Do you really think someone died of a heart attack from shoveling snow? From a hurricane?!? lol.

N/M, clearly lost on you.

THICK AS A BRICK

I get it dude...the point was that you just can't simply explain away all 3,000. That was clearly lost on YOU.

The GOP has gone from demonizing Puerto Ricans to simply denying that they exist.

If we say that 3000 americans were killed at Benghazi, will the liberals start giving a damned that Obama and Clinton were utter failures in that preventable disaster? or no?
